I just finished my Zoom65 V2 with kailh box jades and cheap Amazon caps. The sound is ok but I want something "deeper" and louder from the alpha keys. What do y'all suggest? Pulling out the foam in the bottom of the case and underside of the PCB definitely helped. I've done the tape mod and plan to do the holee mod when I open it up again.

I bought Ink Black V2s and Milky yellows to make a frankenswitch. I used the Ink bottom, ink stem, milky top. Lubed with Krytox 205g0 and used two Deskeys films per switch.

I placed poron switch pads on the PCB.

Thoccy on bottom and top sound. Top sound is slightly more thoccy because of the milky top.

Maybe UHMWPE stems will make the sound more thoccy.

I need to try some sort of case mod. My current case is acrylic.
